Across the year
UA 2202 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter UA 2202 held fairly steady: 75.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 77.8% in Jan–Mar 2026, 75.3% in Apr–Jun 2026 and 75.0% in Jul–Sep 2026. A spread of 3 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

- Oct–Dec 202592 flights75.0%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights77.8%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights75.3%

Scale runs 65% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 2202 did best on Tuesday at 87.5% on time and worst on Sunday at 67.3%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late UA 2202 runs when it is late
UA 2202 often beats the schedule: 88 of 337 completed flights, 26%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 80 late arrivals split 23 under half an hour, 18 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 39 an hour or more.

Share of 337 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
22 of 80 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 28% of them. In the other direction, 22 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at ORD.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 2202
The latest arrival of the period was on 11 June 2026, 18 hours 39 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as national airspace system delay.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 11 June 2026 | 18 hours 39 minutes | Carrier |
| 15 March 2026 | 5 hours 29 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 7 December 2025 | 5 hours 10 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why UA 2202 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 49% of the 7,799 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 49%National Airspace System
- 29%Late-arriving aircraft
- 22%Carrier
- 0%Extreme weather
49% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 3,848 minutes out of 7,799, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 7,799 delay minutes reported on UA 2202.
Cancellations are rare at 0.59%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
11.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 1,185 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.
The same number turns up on four other city pairs in the data, including ORD to IAD (124), ORD to BWI (35) and ORD to CLT (30), but none flew often enough under UA 2202 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BZN to ORD only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 341 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
